I agree. With swing/javafx you have a quite complete set of basic ui controls and a small niche market of third party components. With html/css you have a small/incomplete set of controls, but a huge market of free and commercial component libraries.
If you want a component suite, you could have a look into kendo ui, prime ui, onsen ui, ionic, and many more. btw. For Polymer there’s also a nice data grid: https://www.webcomponents.org/element/TonyGermaneri/canvas-datagrid -Toni Von meinem iPad gesendet > Am 19.03.2018 um 22:18 schrieb Toni Epple <toni.ep...@eppleton.de>: > > Yes, with java 9 and the jlink tool you can get jvms as small as 13mb. > > Your experiment sounds like alot of fun :) > > Von meinem iPad gesendet > >>> Am 19.03.2018 um 20:52 schrieb Neil C Smith <neilcsm...@apache.org>: >>> >>> On Mon, 19 Mar 2018 at 14:24 Toni Epple <toni.ep...@eppleton.de> wrote: >>> >>> On linux a natively packaged JavaFX application is about 40mb (without >>> webview). >> >> >> Is that with the JRE as well?
